This snapshot adds lighting, animated textures, better handling of transparent textures and resource pack caching again among other changes.

If you have previously used an earlier version of Delta Client you will need to delete ~/Library/Containers/dev.stackotter.delta-client because I made some breaking changes. If you don't know how to do this, run rm -rf ~/Library/Containers/dev.stackotter.delta-client in Terminal

Changes

  • Lighting is now rendered and also updated when a block changes
  • Animated textures now work
  • Transparent texture mipmaps now look nicer
  • Transparent blocks no longer incorrectly cull blocks around them
  • Startup time is now 4-5 seconds instead of 40 seconds because I cache block models again
  • Added direct connect
  • Cleaned up disconnect and error message screen styling a bit

Known bugs and limitations

  • Sky lighting is not updated
  • Lighting does not use a proper lighting curve so looks kind of unnatural
  • Animated texture interpolation is not supported (used by things like magma blocks)
  • Lighting updates are quite inefficient, joining Hypixel is impossible now because of the amount of block updates
